================================================================================================
Overview:
    One of the many ubiquitous 'Mech chassis refits designed by Kurita in the build up for their
    push through Federated Suns territory for New Avalon, the Hunchback 7K was intended to ease
    some of the strain of the chassis' role as a close range dependent 'Mech. All the while
    taking advantage of its historical value to be able to mount a wide variety of weaponry in
    all flavors of duty. In particular, it was designed to do this while sharing data in a C3
    lance.

Capabilities:
    The primary difference between the Hunchback 7K and the factory stock 4G is that instead of
    its primary weapon being the close ranged Kali Yama Big Bore Autocannon/20, it mounts a far
    more long reaching Shigunga Medium Ranged Missile/40 mounted in the right torso, equipped
    with an Apollo fire control system and fed with three tons of CASE protected ammunition. to
    further back this weapon up as the 'Mech closes in, it retains the stock arm mounted medium
    lasers while upgrading the head mounted small laser to a small pulse laser to help it deter
    infantry.
    
    To keep the 'Mech cooled under this new heat load, the standard engine mounted heat sinks
    were upgraded to double strength models all the while ripping out the three extra single
    models from the chassis. To add both further protection and to save weight, nine and a half
    tons of Starshield Light Ferro-fibrous armor was equipped to the 'Mech, surpassing the ten
    standard tons' protective ability. A Guardian ECM suite was added to the mech in its center
    torso with this added saved weight. Furthermore, a C3 Slave unit mounted in the left torso
    to allow it to give and receive beneficial targeting data in the heat of battle.
